2974: There Are Only Two Options Left. (2 Updates)

Main city, Dongcheng District.

At Kate's home, he sat on the balcony, looking up at the huge World Tree.

He is too old, and his eyesight is not as good as before. He can see the golden color on the World Tree, but he can't see the crown of the tree very carefully.

"How long can you live?" His voice was hoarse, and he raised his hand tremblingly into the air, trying to touch the World Tree.

The maids next to them looked at each other, shook their heads silently and said nothing, as if they were used to this.

"Tap tap tap~~~"

Crisp footsteps sounded from the living room, approaching the living room.

Kath walked over in high heels with a look of exhaustion and helplessness on her face. She came to stand behind the old man and opened her mouth without speaking.

The atmosphere was silent, and the old man's breathing was not loud. There was a wind blowing outside the balcony, taking away a few fallen leaves from the flowerpot and drifting away.

"Grandpa." Kath still spoke.

Kate put down her raised hand, her cloudy eyes had no luster. At this time, he could feel the life passing through his body every day.

He didn't look back and asked in a hoarse voice: "Five days have passed, has it been successful?"

Kath lowered her head and sighed: "It failed, all the people sent out were arrested, and the black market employment mission also failed.

"Failed again, not once succeeded." Kate spoke hoarsely, with great dissatisfaction in her words.

Kath said firmly: "Grandpa, given another chance, I will find someone stronger to try."

"Who are you looking for?" Kate asked indifferently.

Kath opened her mouth, and a personal name and various major forces flashed in her mind. Some people couldn't afford to invite them, and some people or the forces were too weak, so there was no need.

Kate said calmly: "If there was, you wouldn't go to the black market for employment tasks."

.......yes. "Cath's mouth moved.

Kate looked at the Golden World Tree again and said hoarsely: "Think of other ways."

Kath's eyes flickered, she pondered for a moment and then said in a serious tone: "Grandpa, there are two other ways."

"Say." Kate waved her hand feebly.

Kath said in a serious tone: "The first way is to pay the people who guard the sacred tree and let them secretly break some branches for us~||"

"Do you think you can succeed?" Kate said hoarsely.

Kath moved her mouth and said softly: "If one of them doesn't work, just buy a few more, and someone will eventually be tempted and succeed.

Kate turned her head slightly and asked, "What is the second way?"

Kath whispered: "The second way is to go directly to King Xuanwu and negotiate a deal directly."

"Do you think he can agree, or can you come up with something to make him agree?" Keitel's tone remained calm.

Kath frowned slightly and said, "For two million Xuanwu coins, he is not willing to sell a branch or a few fruits?"

Kate's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she shook her head and said: "The Xuanwu coins are all produced by the Xuanwu Kingdom. If you give him two million Xuanwu coins, it is just a pile of special paper to him.

He had already seen clearly, why did King Xuanwu give priority to spar? Isn't it just that he could print as many Xuanwu coins as he wanted, and spar was the most valuable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xuanwu Kingdom had too many high-quality goods, everyone wouldn't have used the crystals they had in their families for many years as currency.

..." Kath opened her mouth, and only then did she react after hearing this. She couldn't help but lower her head in embarrassment.

"Anything else?" Kate asked hoarsely.

Kath fell into silence. The other party was King Xuanwu, and it was difficult for her to think of anything that would tempt him.

She said helplessly: "Then there is only one way left."

Kate sighed: "Go and try it, do as you say, buy a few more people, maybe it will succeed.

"Yes." Kath agreed respectfully.

Kate said without looking back: "Kath, stay safe, I'm waiting for your good news.

"Yes, I will pay attention." Kath paused and continued walking out.

As soon as the woman left, the room became quieter.

Kate Er was still sitting on the balcony, looking into the distance, and suddenly said: "If the black market's employment mission failed, will the people from the Xuanwu Kingdom find out?"

The maids looked at each other and hesitated before speaking: "Probably not. After all, the black market has existed for hundreds of years, some for thousands of years, and it has its roots.

"Haha~~~

Kate smiled, her eyes unclear, and she said calmly: "I hope so."

"No need to hope." A cold voice sounded, and a figure appeared beside the old man out of thin air.

The sharp sword fell on the old man's neck, and the chill spread to the old man's skin, making the hairs on his body stand up.

Kate's pupils shrank violently, and she saw the person coming from the corner of her eyes. She was wearing nine-colored armor, and her silver-white eyes were emotionless.

"Ah~~..."

The maids screamed and were about to take action, but the next moment they were controlled by members of the ghost tactical assassination team who suddenly appeared.

"Be patient." Yilulu said with a cold face, holding the sword in her hand against the maid's neck.

This was her first mission, and she felt a little nervous and excited.

The maid shivered and said: "I won't move..."

The maids are all ordinary people. Facing the sudden appearance of the ghost tactical assassination team, they are almost frightened out of their wits.

Liyue looked at Kate'er and said with an indifferent expression: "Come with us, Your Excellency Kate'er."

"Are you from the Xuanwu Kingdom?" Kate didn't move, her voice still a little hoarse.

"Yeah." Li Yueqing said coldly.

Kate was dissatisfied and said: "Why do you want to arrest me?"

Liyue said coldly: "Stop pretending, we have already investigated the matter of you hiring people to steal the sacred branches and leaves in the black market.

Kate's heart trembled. In just a few days, she had already found out about the black market?

A look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he also felt angry. When did the black market become so unreliable, and it was so easy for people to find out their employer's information.

"Sir, I don't know what you are talking about." Kate lowered her eyes slightly and decided to struggle again.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back." Dark Moon blinked.

She raised her hand to signal, and someone immediately stepped forward and dropped the demonic shackles.

"Click~~~"

Kate's body trembled, and she felt that her whole body had lost strength, as if she was seriously ill.

He steeled himself and said angrily: "You (good kings) can't do this. I didn't do anything."

"You know what you did. You can't deny it just by denying it with your mouth."

Liyue looked at him coldly and raised her hand to signal the members of the Ghost Tactical Assassination Team to take him away.

Kate's mouth trembled a few times, and when she met the silver-haired girl's eyes, it was difficult for her to speak any more quibbling words.

Liyue waved her hand and ordered: "Take them all away."

"Yes." The team members responded in unison, escorting the prisoner away from the officer.

Elulu looked at the silver-haired girl and asked worriedly: "Captain, are you going to capture Kath?"

Liyue's eyes sparkled and she said calmly: "No, let her try. She can screen out a group of people with different intentions for us."

"Then I'll send someone to keep an eye on him secretly." Yilulu's eyes showed admiration.

"I've already made arrangements."

Liyue waved her hand and ordered: "Close the team."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
